- Identify the three articles you selected that address the problem which is the focus of your PICOT question.
- Describe the search strategy you used to locate these three articles, including terms used when search, the research databases, and how you refined your search to select the three articles.
- Provide a conclusion to summarize your findings.
Remember to support your ideas with the articles you found. These articles should be less than five (5) years old. They should not be from the Web, but from the library databases, and be sure to use a narrative format.

Tool 2.2 PICO Elements for a Purpose Statement and Evidence Search |
||||
INSTRUCTIONS: Use this worksheet to develop a purpose statement or question. Describe each PICO element addressing the topic of interest. Identify the outcome before considering interventions; interventions may evolve after reading the evidence. Write a purpose statement and determine the kind of question. Use Table 2.1 to identify study designs most likely to answer this question. List related concepts, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and keywords or concepts for organizing evidence. |
||||
Step 1: Define elements or clinical question using PICO: |
||||
P = Patients or population to target: |
||||
Problem or condition to address: |
||||
Pilot area (e.g., unit/clinic): |
||||
I = Intervention (assessment or treatment): |
||||
C = Comparison: |
||||
O = Outcomes: |
||||
T = Time frame (optional): |
||||
|
|
||||
Step 2: Purpose statement: |
||||
Step 3: Determine what your question is about (circle one): |
||||
Therapy |
Diagnosis |
Etiology |
Prognosis |
Meaning |
Step 4: Identify study types that best address your question (circle one or more): |
||||
Experimental studies |
Observational studies |
Qualitative studies |
||
Systematic review or meta-analysis |
Case reports |
Other |
||
Step 5: List the main terms and synonyms for your purpose statement. Typical number of concepts per question is two to three. |
||||
Concept 1: |
Concept 2: |
Concept 3: |
||
|
|
|
|

|
INSTRUCTIONS: Use this worksheet to explore concepts of interest for your EBP work. Organize using the PICO elements. Begin by identifying a goal or outcome first. Identify potential interventions last; interventions may evolve after reading the evidence. Use all PICO elements to write a purpose statement in one to two sentences. Use PICO elements to identify potential keywords related to the purpose statement. |
